Robots That Vacuum and Mop

The vacuum has four power modes, a variety of brushes and attachments, and an intuitive app that lets you pick the type of cleaning you'd like to have for each room.

You could, for instance, ask the robot to clean the kitchen and the living room thoroughly, but leave the bedroom to itself. The S1 Pro's front collision sensors and smart navigation technology are superb as the robot is able to detect tiny obstacles that other models struggle with. Its only drawback is that it tends to crash into walls and objects at full speed - but an instant glance at the history of cleaning in the app tells you exactly what it's doing as well as where it's heading, and which obstacles it's avoided.

The docking station has a handy LCD screen that displays the need for maintenance like emptying the debris and washing the water tank that is dirty. It is also able to mix detergent into the water tank in a controlled manner, using a 600ml eufy solution.

The only downside I've discovered with this model is that its VibraRise mop pad mount isn't movable. While you can replace the mopping cloth (if it's required), it's a pain to remove the mount itself to wash manually. I've noticed that any carpet that the robot touches will come into contact with the rough Velcro like fastener system on the mounts, which could cause scratches.
